Yeah, like I told you, originally we were going to have Farran, but VF changed it to Shadow because he wanted the Spies pictures to be in color, and the only picture of Farran is in black and white. We would have done Chibb for the Spy, except for the fact that he would never be able to kill Tsarmina. We also did Redwall cause it's the focal point of the whole series, but doing Salamandastron would be cool too. And we were going to do Kotir, but it didn't look villainous enough. We were also considering Marshank but when we cropped it so that it would ft the size of the picture for the pieces, it just looked like a box on fire. So that's why we did Fort Bladegirt. 1: It looked villainous. And 2: It was about all we had left to do.
